And you need to do it or else you're not going to play,' 」 said Thunder coach Scott Brooks. 「I didn't quite say it that way.」 Brooks說：「其實交易完成後我並沒有跑去跟Harden說：『嘿，球隊需要你每場平均多得 六分，你如果辦不到就別想上場』，我也說不出來他為何會這樣。」 Harden is also playing five more minutes per game. Harden交易後上場時間也增加了5分鐘。 「Since the trade, he's played some good minutes,」 Brooks said. 「But he's earned them. He's played well. We weren't just going to give him extra minutes. I think that's a mistake sometimes the league makes. Guys get minutes that are not earned, but James earned the extra minutes. He's playing well. He's scoring, he's defending, he's rebounding, he's playmaking and it's all because of the work he's put in. It's well-deserved.」 Brooks說：「交易之後，他有不錯的表現，這本來就是他的實力。他打得很好，我們沒有 勉強增加他的上場時間，我認為勉強讓球員上場有時是不對的。有些人自然而然就可以得 到上場時間，但Harden是靠真本事，他真的打的不錯，不管是得分或防守，籃板或掌握比 賽節奏，這些都是他能夠貢獻給球隊的能力。(他上場時間的增加)當之無愧。」 「We all believe in him, and he knows that,」 said Kevin Durant. 「And he's been playing defense very well these last few games. He's just playing hard for us. He's been working extremely hard and he's starting to see some of the benefits of it.」 KD說：「大家都信任他，他也知道，而且他最近防守超棒的。他真的為球隊拼盡全力。他 訓練極度認真，所以現在他開始看到了一些訓練帶給他的好處了。」 Via Darnell Mayberry/Oklahoman http://tinyurl.com/4po5udn -- 哲學的義務，是去除因誤解而生的幻想。 --
